Ivan Gohy<br />
(1915-2005)<br />
Ivan Gohy<br />
Is an authentic naïve artist :<br />
A Belgian, born in a modest family in a small village of Wallonia, he left school à 14,<br />
became an industrial worker for some years, and later an itinerant dealer, selling linen<br />
and clothes on marketplaces in small towns. He never received any artistic education or<br />
training, and used then to spend his free time in physical exercise : bicycle since he was a<br />
child, swimming even in winter (crossing the Meuse for Xmas), later long horse rides in<br />
his beloved country.<br />
He had been successful enough to ensure a peaceful retirement.<br />
Having come to Paris in 1999, he visited the Louvre and various exhibitions, and felt the<br />
impulse to paint. So he just started, and never ceased until his death in 2005.<br />
He was a smiling man, never unkind to anybody, never taking himself too seriously, but<br />
enjoying life at every moment. His paintings, all different, communicate his joie de vivre<br />
and bring happiness to the beholder.<br />
